UFC Fight Island 7 main card

For the first time since 2018, a UFC event is broadcast by a network TV channel. The UFC Fight Island 7 main card will be aired on both ABC and ESPN+.

While Max Holloway versus Calvin Kattar will drag most of the night's attention, the co-main event between the MMA veterans Carlos Condit and Matt Brown is also set to be an exciting fight.

Besides the two chief bouts of the night, UFC on ABC will also present two middleweight clashes and a welterweight duel.

Santiano Ponzinibbio will make his return to the UFC after morethan two years away battling health issues. The Argentinian will try to go for his eighth consecutive win, but he will have to pass through Li Jingliang.

The two 170 lbs fights will see Joaquin Buckley entering the octagon pursuing his third straight win against Alessio Di Chirico and a duel between the fresh unbeaten contenders Punahele Soriano and Dusko Todorovic.
